4 Phase Of DeveIOpment.

Ii is noticeable that while there is a
degree of dizziness in some Ines of in
dustr,al effort, the builders of railroads
were never more busy than they are at
the present time. 1t is estimated that
$500. coo, 600 represents the sum OF the
railroad building, present and twelve
months prospective, in this country.
This industry, it must be remembered,
involves a number of other industries,
which, however, are akin to it. In the
surveys, in the grading track laying,
bridge. culvert and station building, a
var ETY. of callngS is required, each
giving employment to q large number
of persons; and with all this railroad
building the fact should not be over
looked that while the nation - being
built up. rs il We're, various industries
as well as ayr cultural interests are
being developed, Just as a growing tree
increases in size and strength. and puts
forth numerous branches in various
directions. When the fact is con-
templated that there are 700, OO0persons
emplo, ed in the railroad service al
ready, and that thousands of persons
are also employed in the building of new
railroads, that other fact occurs to us
that with the railway anywhere there
is added a tenfold multiplication of
tie value of all the country border.
ing. The impetus given TO con-
strUct on of locomotives, passenger and
freight cars by railroad buildings has
been noted espec ally in the daily press.
All of the leading establishments in
this respect are full of work. This
gives strength and tone to the iron in
dustry. Had 1T not been for the rail-
roads il IS probable that we should find
TODAY the principal population and
only business prosperity within few
miles OF the seaboard and the main
navigable waters. Heretofore the pop
ulat on of our country has doubled in
numbers in about twenty-three years.
Ii we assume that it will now take
twentv-three years from 1887 to give
the country 100000 of people, this
rate of progress will call for all the
facilities for transportation that can be
afforded by the construction of 5000
miles of railroad yearly for some years
to come. At present there are dozen
or more trunk roads and great water
routes engaged in managing the tom
mage. local and otherwise, OF the coun-
try; but with a population of 100. 000.-
0 of people these transportation acl-
tiles would prove grossly inadequate.
Twenty thousand dollars of black wal
nut lumber will make 100000 of furni-
ture. Just so will 5000 or 10000 miles
OF new railroad every year produce a
prosperity in each year the value of
which can be estimated only by mil
lions of dollars. american CuitiUatOr.

During religious revival in town

soldiers fell in behind us, a. we
marched along. In all there were
some fifteen thousand soldiers out,
and nearly all armed with Martini

a dec dedly poor gateway, we found
ourselves in a narrow street, the walls

dust even more 80. The houses give one

The Sailor and His Trousers.

How do | keep my trousers from
bagging at the knees?" echowed an old
man who had served many years
in the British navy. "Why, that's one
of the simplest things in the world if a

close reefed and built snug and taut

are apt to bag at the knees, so that

''Yes, few people would imagine
that the hitch is what keeps the

when you sit down you leave plenty of
slack for the knees to play in, and your
clothes will wear out before they will

times it becomes almost second nature

every time you sit down. The hitch
may be simple. but it's worth more to
a man than one of those patent s.
